Re: [DML] Rear Defrost switch internals please....

Hi Kevin

You won't get it back together without separating the base bit from the 
casing. It'll probably come more apart before you can reassemble it! 
Okay, quick explanation which will make more sense when you have it 
fully apart: That little bar goes underneath the two hooks on the right 
of your picture. The little plate sits kind of diagonally in the centre 
of the switch - in its current state you won't be able to get it back 
in. I did exactly what you did and it took me about two hours with a 
pair of needle-nosed pliers and a strong light to work it out! (I had 
the TV on at the time :-)

This is a prime example of someone saying "well it works, so let's make 
it", instad of making sure it was properly designed.
